Not sure what to say?

It was with sadness to hear of Paul's passing much too early. I worked with Paul for many years at BAE and our offices were next to each other for many of those years. Paul was truly a Renaissance man from his woodworking and wood sculpturing which showed true artistry to his engineering and science command.

Linda,
I'm so sorry to learn of your loss of your husband. I'm glad to see that you are in MI and that one of your daughters is there also.

Paul was an amazing person and a vessel of knowledge. He was a key inspiration in my decision me to go to school for engineering. You will be missed sir.

I worked with Paul at BAE systems and he was also a neighbor in Brookline NH (we live on Captain Seaver). My son Geoff worked with him as a college intern one year at BAE. Paul asked him to come down and visit one year when he was home from college - and he came home with a homemade wooden sign that they made that said 'Woodward' to hang in our house. A man of many talents and a great guy.

A Great Engineer that will be missed. May the Lord be with you now.
